One source said the smaller-than-expected transaction reflects employees’ optimism about the company’s future, driven by growing annualized revenue. Last month,

Less than three hours later, Trump formally declared a two-week U.S.-Iran ceasefire. Oil futures opened sharply lower on Wednesday, falling ~15% and dropping below the $100 mark.
